Thanks, although I should point out I’ve been doing this type of analysis far longer than Nate! And you will get your fill of polling data here. However, the two things Nate does really really well is gather new data to tackle existing questions, and to present that in a visually appealing way. He’s the best around at that. Where we sometimes part company – and this probably reflects his background as an economist and someone with a more pronounced leftward tilt – is in interpreting current political events. In my view, he sometimes gets caught up in the forest, and misses the trees. But he does good stuff, and I’m only sorry I can’t read him anymore since the Times established their online subscription policy.
